In Greenville South Carolina Aug 24 Joe Johnson, known in Laurens, campaigned quietly for Congress arguing free coinage and silver currency.

Local voters weigh his fiscally focused message against Tillmanism.

Aiken Dispensary Case Set for South Carolina Supreme Court
The Aiken case to define the 1893 dispensary law and its constitutionality will be the test before the State Supreme Court. Governor Tillman and Attorney General Buchanan seek an extra session to hear the appeal, likely taking up late this month or early September with Chief Justice McIver and Justices Pope and Gary. The relators urge exemptions and constitutional challenges to the Dispensary Act, while respondents defend the act as a valid police measure and state control.
